RECYCLED & RECYCLABLE

Products from green frog designs are made, wherever possible, from materials that are recycled. Where this is not practical, we always try to use materials that

are suitable for recycling.

Our plastic is made from recycled industrial waste plastic. By choosing our products, rather than those made from virgin plastic, you are helping to restrict the

amount of new plastic being made. We recycle all our waste plastic (our Pi Clips are made from our own waste) and, of course, our products themselves can be

recycled (if they ever wear out!!).

The recycled plastic we use is quite tough, but is as easily worked as wood. There is no need for preservative treatment with insecticides or fungicides, and struc-

tures won’t splinter or crack, so they retain their structural integrity well. The plastic is resistant to UV light, so it retains its colour, and is pretty much impervious to

atmospheric pollutants and seasonal climatic actions such as freeze–thaw. It insulates quite well, and is also resistant to chewing. These properties mean that it

retains its appearance, colour and functionality for much longer than timber.

The sheets of recycled plastic have a very uniform thickness, and so are ideally suited to our high-technology manufacturing process, which uses computer-

controlled machines to cut shapes to accuracies better than 0.1mm.

We do use some metal components to fix a few parts together. The metals used are either stainless steel or other rust-resistant alloy, so they have a very long

lifetime, and they are also suitable for recycling.

Our packaging and literature is all made from recycled materials wherever possible. For example, assembly instructions are printed on recycled paper. Even our

business cards are made from 80% recycled card.

In other words: Fun, functional products that don't cost the Earth!

HOW TO FIT A LINCH PIN (IF USED)

You only need to lift the ring slightly up from the bar. Linch Pins are designed to spring closed, so watch your fingers!

HOW TO FIT AND REMOVE A PI CLIP

1 Fit two Vent Covers to the patterned face of the Right

Side Wall each using an M6x30mm screw, a standard

washer, 25mm washer and a 2 x nylock nut.. Tighten the

nuts until the vents can rotate using gentle pressure. They

should not spin freely. The Left Side Wall has vent slots, to

ensure the chickens have some fresh air at all times.

2 Fit the Small and Large Straight Door Retainer to the smooth

(inside) side of the Front Wall using 3 x 40mm Screws,3x

Standard washers and 3 x nylock nuts.

3 Fit the Small and Large Curved Door Retainer to the

smooth (inside) side of the Front Wall using 3x 30mm

Screws,3x Standard Washers, and 3 x Nylock Nuts.These

pieces form a recess into which the door fits when closed.

4 Fit the Small Clevis Pin into the hole in the Metal Door from

behind, and secure it using a washer and split ring. This can be

a little awkward. We find that holding the split ring open by in-

serting a flat-bladed screwdriver between the rings can make

this task easier. But please mind your fingers!

5 Place the Metal Door in position, and secure it with a

20mm screw, 2x Standard Washers, a 25mm Washer and 1

x Nylock Nut. Tighten the Nylock Nut until the door can just

rotate freely.

6 Fit the nest box Side Wall to the Base using 3 x Pi Clips.

Ensure that the Double-hole lugs are at the front .

Note : The base is to be ed smooth side up.

7 Fit the Side wall (with Vent covers) to the base and side

wall and attach the Roof Support to the top center slot with

another slot above it using 5 x Pi clips.

8 Fit the Front Wall (patterned face outermost) to the end

with the double-hole lugs using Pi Clips.

9 Fit the Upper Back Wall to the top two lugs using 2 x Pi

Clips. This is the same for large, medium and small.

10 Fit the Back Door Handle to the textured side of the

back door using 2x Pi Clips. Hook on top of handle denotes

the top.

11 Fit the Back Door using 2x Linch Pins. (When fitting, first

rest the bottom of the Back Door in the slots in the Base,

then push the door onto the lugs, and slide the Back Door

Handles downwards. Secure it with Linch Pins.

You only need to lift the ring slightly up from the

bar. Linch Pins are designed to spring closed, so

watch your fingers!

12, Slide the Perches through the Left and Right Side Walls

and secure with a Linch Pins at both ends.

13 Fit the Nest box End Walls and Nest Box Divider to the

Nest Box Floor, then add the Nest Box Front Wall, all using

12 x Pi Clips

15 Fit the Nest box Front Brace and the two Nest box Side

Braces to the Nest box Lid, which should have its patterned

side upwards, using 7 x Pi Clips

14 Fit the nest box to the house by first inserting the L-lugs into

the lower holes on the Right Side Wall, then tilting the nest box

to push the three upper lugs through their holes, before secur-

ing them inside the main house with 3x Linch Pins

16 The Nest Box Lid simply slides upwards so that the cutouts

fit into the recesses in the vertical panels. It is secured with 2x

Linch Pins

19 Fit the Roof using Linch Pins (Fix the center rst, then

bend it over the remaining lugs.

20 MANUAL DOOR ONLY: Tie one end of the Cord to the

Split Ring in the Front Door and the other to the small hole in

the Door Handle. The Cord should pass through the handle slot.

Adjust the length of the cord so that, when the door is fully

raised, the handle just hooks onto the edge of the opposite

handhold or the roof edge

17, Fit two Side Roof Retainers, one on each side wall,

using 1 x Pi Clip for each one.

18, Fit End Roof Retainers to the Front Wall and Upper Back

Wall using 1 x Pi Clips for each one.

21 Fit the Ramp on top of the two lugs (front face) using 2 x

25mm Clevis Pins and 2 x R-Clips. It will lt to the ground under

its own weight. Completed Medium House

The Chicken guard automatic door opener attaches to the front of your chicken

coop, allowing you to set a time for opening and closing the door for when it suits

you.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

The Chicken house should be sited in a sheltered area with the front facing away from prevailing winds. Vents should be adjusted to provide

good ventilation.

The rear door can be used for inspection, and regular cleaning. For thorough cleaning and replacing of bedding, the entire roof can be re-

moved.

This Chicken house is designed to be moved by two people, using the handholds cut into the roof.

We recommend thorough cleaning at least every 3 months – a pressure washer is ideal for removal of caked on dirt, but an ordinary hosepipe

and scrubbing brush will do. The plastic is quite easy to clean. Finish by applying Poultry Shield (or similar) and leave to dry.

For protection against red mite, we recommend sprinkling a little diatomaceous earth (Diatom powder) around the house, particularly the joints,

each time bedding is refreshed.

Accessories for your chicken coop

If you use shavings as bedding material, we recommend that you use droppings

trays to contain the shavings. They will keep the shavings dryer, and make clean-

ing the house simply a matter of removing the trays and tipping the shavings onto

your compost heap.
